The middle order of Jonny Bairstow (16), Ben Stokes (18) and Moeen Ali (27) offered slightly more resistance on a worsening pitch after Cook had gone for 42, but it was only going to be a matter of time before South Africa sealed the win.

Stuart Broad made just five, and after Mark Wood and James Anderson both went for ducks from four balls and two balls respectively, the tourists were able to celebrate a thoroughly convincing win.
